"30 beers enter, 3 beers leave"

Chicago Craft Beer Week is a whole lot of fun for breweries and bars. We are changing it up a bit this year and promoting the homebrew community.

Sunday May 20th we are hosting a homebrew festival back in the brewery space. This is a special event where the community gets to hang out in the brewery and a chance to try unlimited samples of over 30 different homebrews from various home brewers that belong to one of Chicago's many homebrew clubs. You also get to vote for your top three favorite beers. We will be awarding the winners with special trophies.

Are you a homebrewer without a club? No worries! You can also sign up to pour beer. If you're interested please reach out to jacob@empiricalbrewery.com by May 10th.

Tickets are $20 and all of the proceeds are being donated. 25% goes to Sweet Virgnia's Kitchen, and the other 75% is going to a program to help feed children during the summer when they are not in school.

THE TAPROOM WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. YOU MUST PURCHASE A TICKET TO THIS EVENT TO GET INSIDE EVEN THE TAPROOM.

Participating Homebrew Clubs include:

Square Kegs

CHAOS

Evanston

HOPS

Logan Brewlevard

Babble

Brixie Brewers

PALE

Empirical Staff

We will have two food pop ups in the brewery as well- Donut Republic will have a table selling donuts that are infused with Empirical beer and Sweet Virginia's Kitchen will be cooking BBQ chicken on site.

Come out and support your home brewing community and local restaurants! Thinking of starting home brewing yourself? This is a perfect way to learn about the process and get to know other home brewers.
